Sittin' on a Riverboat havin' a party   Me and my Cajun queen   She's turnin' 21 on the Mississippi river   Headin' out of New Orlean      The Year is 1894   Oh, Come on mama and love me some more   Her dark eyes flashed like a Gambler's rings   She shakes her pretty head and sings      CHOURS:   Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy   Watchin' the sun go down   A rock & roll band, with a reefer in my hand   Now look at that wheel go round   Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses   That's the life for me   I'm sailing away from my heartache   On a Riverboat fantasy      Can't think, Can't drink anymore whisky   I coulda drunk a river dry   Mmm, this old boat she's just sittin' in the moon light   Catchin' the gleam in her eye   Showers of rain come pourin' down   The sky full of stars like a French Lace gown   Shimmer, glimmer I think I'm gonna fall   WHAT?? Catch me mama that's all      CHOURS   Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy   Watchin' the sun go down   A rock & roll band, with a reefer in my hand   Now look at that wheel go round   Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses   That's the life for me   I'm sailing away from my heartache   On a Riverboat fantasy      Delta sun, beats down like a hammer   Mmm, it give the low down blues   I've got a Cotton gin   A weave and spin   To shake the dust from my shoes   I made my money I found me a honey   To tickle me under my chin   When mornin' comes I'll ride into town   And worry 'bout the shape I'm in      CHOURS   Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy   Watchin' the sun go down   A rock & roll band, with a reefer in my hand   Now look at that wheel go round   Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses   That's the life for me (Yes it is)   I'm sailing away from my heartache   On a Riverboat fantasy
